Newbie here!

Hi guys! I’m new to signing up here but I have been browsing for a few weeks now. This is my first time owning chickens and I love it! I went to tractor supply late March and bought 4 white rock and 4 golden Sex link. I had them in a metal container for a little over a week while I was building a coop outside. I put them outside when they were about 2 weeks old (I got them when they were 1 week old), I lost one white rock though. I went out one morning and he was hobbling around and apparently broke his leg somehow. All the other chicks were just in chick heaven and he was in the corner falling asleep and couldn’t keep his eyes open. So I had to Put the poor guy down. Anyway, so now they are 7 weeks old and doing pretty good! 2 of my white rock are for sure roosters. They have the waddle and will stare each other down and start fighting. I’m going to have to build another coop I guess. Here are some pics
